Dell buys/bought Alienware?

A popular computer hardware company, Alienware; which sells high end desktops, laptops and workstations was bought by Dell? According report on CNet, it seem like Dell may have bought Alienware to become part of their strong growing PC/Laptop business.

I remember Henry asked me to buy Alienware laptop last time, Alienware design really kickass, looks very powerful and high-end, but I was not so sure how the performance would be. Wondering if there are any Malaysians who own an Alienware machine? I would like to have one, but the price is high…
